I went by the Nokia Experience center today to look at the new line of phones. As usual, I got side-tracked and my focus went to the Nokia 9300. I played with the phone for over 15 minutes and entered into a conversation with the techs there (you can't call them sales reps since you can't buy phones). They brought out the 9500 and I was surprised to see that it's over an inch bigger and heavier. Let me qualify that; the 9500 wasn't a live phone, it was the same size and weight but was one of those furniture store version...you know the fake TV in the display.
In a previous post, I argued that the 9500 was the better choice, however the 9300i (Available for business customers form Cingular in Feb-06) has WiFi which was the great feature on the 9500. I'm sold and If you look at the arms race between Nokia and Motorola it's starting to look like 1st Gulf War (Nokia's the good guys in this case).
